It doesn't solve it for all cases, but it would make the default
behavior for many common usages more efficient. FWIW, it would
match the behavior of the Sybase and MS SQL Server JDBC drivers, at
least last I used them.
As I said earlier in the thread, I think we may need a new protocol
version to have a really nice implementation which completely solves
the problem. People are talking about that anyway, for a variety of
reasons, so we should make sure that if that effort moves forward
the new protocol can gracefully handle this case along with solving
the other problems people want to address.
